Expect Nothing But Pain
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56There was a tension in the air that was thick enough to be sliced through with a kitchen knife. Clary was very uncomfortable and embarrassed. She just really wanted to leave so she could get back to the festival, but no, she was stuck in the ballroom.
Clary had already had a life of pain and drama, all she wanted was something different. She wanted a happily ever after. She felt like she at least deserved that; like she at least deserved a break from her hard life of misery and darkness.
But there she was, in a situation where her mate had to be a married man! And not just any married man, but the Alpha of the pack! Fate was playing a very sick game that was not fair at all.
And now that the Luna knew, it was all way too complicated. All Clary wanted to do was what she did the best: run. She was itching to just run away from all this.
“Should I take your silence as a yes?” Selena asked Ace in a hard tone. She did not even want to take a look at Clary, she felt insulted that her husband would even consider the omega his mate. It was like a statement, saying that he had a bad choice in women.
“I’m not rejecting her,” Ace replied to her, standing by his word. “And I am certainly not changing my mind. So you know what, Selena, do your worse. Make a scene for all I care,” He challenged her.
It was something that he barely did because, to be honest, he was a bit scared of her.
Selena nodded and swallowed. She chuckled without humor and touched the tips of her hair before speaking, “Alight. But first, let’s ask the omega. I want to know her thoughts.” She turned her attention to Clary and stared at her in mild disgust.
“I just want to go back to the festival,” Clary said in a shy voice. She was no longer crying but her heart felt heavy. “I don’t care about whatever mate bond that Ace may think that we have. I just want to leave this room.”
Selena was pleasantly taken aback. She did not expect that from the omega. She had had to deal with a lot of women and girls who were obsessed with Ace, but Clary was truly different. She could tell that the omega liked her husband, but she was pushing aside her emotions.
She turned to Ace. “You see? Let the poor girl leave. She only wants to enjoy the festival.” She chuckled lightly.
“Clary, what are you doing?” Ace asked in a sad tone. “You feel what I feel. You know that we’re mates. So why are you resisting?”
Clary felt a tug on her heart but she did not want any more drama. She had enough of her own in her ordinary life. “May I leave, please?” She asked as she peeled her eyes off the Alpha.
Her wolf was still dormant even though she was eighteen. But she could sometimes hear him or even feel what he was feeling at times. She had named him Silence, because, since she became of age, he was mostly silent.
She could feel great sadness in her and her wolf was fighting against her decision to leave. But still, it barely spoke to her.
“Clary…” Ace stepped in her direction but Selena was not going to let that happen.
“Come on, darling. In fact, I will take you out.” She walked past her husband and gestured for Clary to take her hand.
Clary was tentative but she did. She took Selena’s hand and was led out of the ballroom, down the hall, and to the back of the house. Then they came to a stop.
“Thank you for helping me in there,” Clary extended her gratitude but was soon put in her place.
The Luna laughed in her face and asked, “You really think that I would help you? A girl that wants to steal my man? Girl, bye!” She scoffed rudely before rolling her ocean-blue eyes.
“I was not trying to steal…” Clary was not even given the opportunity to complete her sentence.
“Blah, blah, blah. That’s what they all say. Now, get out of here. The guard would take you straight out of the compound.” Selena gestured to the buff guy that soon appeared.
“But–but the Moon Festival. I still want to attend it,” Clary said as she glanced at the buff guard and back at Selena.
“No, darling. You messed up that opportunity when you decided to make a move on my husband.” She then looked at the guard and ordered him, “Get her out of my compound. And if she comes back, have her arrested.”
Clary was shocked.
She had always looked up to Selena. She saw her as the perfect Luna. She saw her as someone that she aspired to be. So it was like she was hit in the face with a bag of bricks when she saw what Selena was really like.
“Let’s get going, pretty lady,” The guard grabbed Clary’s arm and started to push her away.
“Okay, okay, I’m walking. Let me go,” She said in a pinched tone at the guard. As she walked away towards the exit at the back of the compound, she glanced back and saw Selena watching with a look of satisfaction on her face.
“Come on, keep walking,” The guard said in a hard tone as he pushed the omega once more.
Clary felt a knot in her throat and tears threatened to spill from her eyes. But she refused to cry. It was her fault that she had hope. It was her fault that she did not expect to be disappointed. It was her fault that she did not expect pain.
It was her fault that she thought that she could be like the other girls that had perfect lives.
When she walked out of the compound, the cold air of the night was the first to greet her. She had never felt so alone. She had literally missed the opportunity to change her life.
Now she had to wait another year to even try again. It sucked but what sucked, even more, was the fact that she had to go back home to her drunk dad who wanted to kill her.

Clary walked all the way home. She did not realize how far Royal Street was away from her place until now. The crazy thing was that she did not feel the distance when she was running for her life.At that time, adrenaline was coursing through her veins so she did not really care about distance when she was running from her dad. When she arrived at the house, her heart was beating hard and her throat was dry. She took a few seconds to prepare herself for whatever she was about to face before reaching for the door. She turned the knob and the door made a small click. She did a little push and walked into the house. It did not surprise her that the door was not locked. She was the one that did all these things while the preacher only got drunk.She searched around with her eyes and soon she saw her dad slumped on the couch in the living room. He was snoring very loudly and an empty bottle of liquor was lying on the floor, next to the couch. She released a breath that she did not know
Luna Clary~Mated To The Taken Alpha Invited To The Royal Ball
Clary admired the beautiful room when Selena had left. It was the first time for her to be in a room this nice, and to be able to call it her own. She felt so happy and could not help but chuckle lightly in joy as she continued to look around. But she also could not put to the back of her mind what Selena had said to her. It made her feel like she had to walk on her toes all the time. Being warned by the Luna was enough to remind her that even though she was now in the palace, she was still dirt. The Alpha and his wife were being vague as to why they had brought Clary to the mansion to live there, but she had a small knowledge that it was because of the mate bond between her and Ace. The mate bond was a special rare bond that was similar to the concept of soul mates, but it was way stronger and magical. At some point, mates could even feel and read each other’s minds and emotions. This special bond could cause the male werewolf to know whether his mate was safe or in danger. It w
Luna Clary~Mated To The Taken Alpha Caught By Ocean Blue Eyes
Clary’s heart dropped and she took a step back as Selena walked up to her. “I, um, I don’t know what you mean.” Her voice was small and she avoided looking the Luna in her eyes. “You don’t know what I mean?” She scoffed when she was right in front of Clary. “Your face. Your damn face is what I mean!” Clary felt tears build up in her eyes and she felt like she had been stabbed in the chest by a huge kitchen knife. “The make-up artist told me that I looked fine,” She tried to explain but Selena stopped her. “Shut up. Just shut up. No one ever listens!” She stormed away and got into the car, leaving Clary standing there.A knot formed in Clary’s throat and she was using every ounce of her strength not to cry. But she really wanted to. She glanced at Ace who seemed really quiet. He had a frown on his face and his eyes were filled with sadness. “I’m sorry,” He mouthed to her before getting into the car. One of the royal guards closed the door and the car started moving until it was so
Luna Clary~Mated To The Taken Alpha The Past, And A Punch
“Hi Levi, how are you?” Selena greeted Levi when she and Ace reached the table. Levi stood to his feet and gave her a hug and when they broke the hug, he proceeded to talk with Ace, leaving Clary with Selena. “What the actual crap?” She asked Clary as she stared at her in bewilderment. “You disappear for almost an hour and this is where we find you?” She kept her voice low and her composure, even going as far as faking a smile when someone would look at them. Clary stood to her feet and apologized quickly. “I’m sorry. When the driver dropped me off, Levi helped me ease in. You can ask him, I kept looking around for you and Ace but I had no idea where the both of you were,” She explained. “Just shut up. Shut up and stay quiet,” Selena said to Clary in a stern tone and then placed her focus back on Levi and Ace. “Oh, have you guys met Clary? She is a doll,” Levi said to Ace and Selena. “I can’t believe that this is her first time here.” They all looked at Clary, whose face was red
Luna Clary~Mated To The Taken Alpha We Pay For Our Sins
Gasps could be heard across the large room, and the music was immediately turned off as everyone watched what was going on between Ace and Levi. Levi was on the marble floor, trying to collect himself but Ace did not let him. Ace sat on top of him and continued to hit the guy over and over. With each hit, more gasps and even some screams erupted. “Ace, stop it,” Selena tried to get Ace off Levi but it was impossible. “Stop it, you’re going to kill him!” She continued to try but she was just not strong enough to stop her husband. With each punch, more blood appeared on Levi’s face. “Stop it, please!” Clary cried out as tears rolled down her face. “Please, god, please stop!” Her voice broke. Clary’s voice was the only thing that pulled Ace from his fit of rage. He stopped hitting Levi and soon was pulled off by a couple of guards. He did not even struggle, he allowed the guards to take him away. As they did, he glanced at his wife who had a disappointed look on her face. Then his e
Luna Clary~Mated To The Taken Alpha Hard Choices
Everyone stared at Mr. Clark, waiting for him to tell them what the way out was. The room was quiet and there was a strong sense of anticipation swirling in there. “Let me guess, Levi wants me to crawl on my belly and kiss his feet?” Ace asked sarcastically. “Now is not the time for sarcasm,” His wife scolded him, and he scoffed lightly before looking back at Mr. Clark. “Boy, it’s much easier than that. But we would have to meet Levi in the other room. He told me that he would like to be the one to tell you guys the way out. Hmm? Sounds good? Who am I kidding, it’s not like you guys have a choice,” Mr. Clark said and then laughed. Mr. Clark turned away and walked towards the door, opened it, and stepped outside. Everyone else scurried to their feet, including Clary. They all followed Mr. Clark and soon reached another room. Two guards were standing at the door. The guards opened the door and allowed everyone but Clary to enter. “Oh, let her through. She’s the star here,” Mr. Cla
Luna Clary~Mated To The Taken Alpha No Means No
Ace’s words immediately caused tension to rise in the air. Selena groaned lowly and looked at her husband. “Honey, look, this is your future that we’re talking about. This is the future of the pack we’re talking about. Listen to yourself, stop this,” She said to him. “No means no, Clary’s not going with Levi,” Ace repeated nonchalantly. He was stern about his decision. Nothing and no one was going to change his mind. “Dammit, Ace!” Mr. Clark snapped. “You’re just like your father! Stubborn and strong-willed! You remember what happened to him, right? I don’t have to remind you how it all ended for him.”Ace’s heart broke a bit at the mention of his father. His father was Alpha before him and had been banished for falling in love with a human. The last time that Ace saw his father was when he was only nine years old, and that memory tortured him every single day. “I’m nothing like my father. Don’t dare compare me to that coward,” Ace warned Mr. Clark as he stood to his feet. “He left
Luna Clary~Mated To The Taken Alpha Trauma And Luxury
Clary and Mr. Clark followed the loud crashing and the shouts until they reached the living room. That was when they saw what was going on. Selena was crying and begging Ace to stop and he did not. She did not know what to do. It was like Ace was possessed. The only solace she had was that it would end; that his fit of rage would end. It always did. It was not the first time that Selena saw Ace this way. It often happened when he was triggered by his past or something that made him really angry. And although it happened often, Selena still did not know how to respond every single time that it did.Ace grabbed another vase and lifted it in the air before smashing it hard on the marble floor. It came down with a loud crash, causing everyone to flinch. “I’m not him! I’m not my f*cking dad!” He roared as he reached for something else to destroy. All Ace could see was red. He was so angry at his dad. He had so much darkness in him and he just wanted to feel okay but he did not know how

Luna Clary~Mated To The Taken Alpha The Moon Festival~The End
It was a year later and Clary was getting ready for the Moon Festival. It was at night and she was in the makeup room and had so many people attending to her. She was almost ready and her makeup was even done. She was only in that room because she was getting touched up once again per the head makeup artist’s suggestion. The lady’s name was Selena and although the name reminded Clary of the former Luna, it was a totally different person. Music played in the room and a huge vanity mirror reflected Clary’s face back to her. She looked amazing and could not imagine that she had come this far. She had gone from being an omega to being the Luna of the pack. It was a dream come through for her, no, in fact, it was beyond her dreams. Because all she had wished for since she was little was just to be happy; to find a mate, live a normal life and be happy. The door of the room opened and Ace walked in. When he glanced at Clary, his heart skipped a beat. He could not believe that he was no

The sound of the medical machine beeping echoed like it had been placed underwater. Clary’s eyes fluttered open and her vision was at first blurry before she blinked and it got cleared up.The air smelled perfumed and the sound of the medical machine beeping was now more evident. The omega’s throat was parched and she tried to swallow but it was very uncomfortable. That made her cough a bit. That was when she noticed that she was not alone in what she guessed to be a hospital room, even though it looked a bit fancy. Who she saw caused her heart to drop. “Dad?” She tried to speak but her voice came out a hoarse cry. It was the preacher, the guy was sitting not far from her in a chair by the bed. The preacher almost choked on the juice that he was drinking. It was what one of the nurses had given him because he had been in the room for almost the whole day without eating; only leaving for the bathroom and water breaks. He coughed for a few seconds before clearing his throat. He sta
Luna Clary~Mated To The Taken Alpha Face To Face With Power
Upon impact with Selena, Clary’s wolf was sent flying in the other direction. Her back hit the living room table, smashing it into many pieces. There were a few shards that poked into her back. And it hurt like crazy. “Stand up and fight, omega! Or should I say, Luna?” Selena mocked Clary as she approached her. Clary quickly rose to her feet but was pinned back to the floor of sharp shards just as quickly by the former Luna. She tried to get free from the demon’s strong hold over her but it was way too hard. “You’re hurting me,” Clary pushed the words out as she fought against the strength of Selena. “That’s the point,” The former Luna laughed out the words. She held Clary’s wolf down with just one hand and was now using the other one to try to stab it in the chest of the omega, aiming for her heart. Clary was so scared, not just for her but for her baby. “Surrender,” She heard her wolf say to her, and confusion filled her. Surrender? That would mean absolute death! That did not
Luna Clary~Mated To The Taken Alpha Clary Vs. Selena
It must have been three in the morning. The rain had finally stopped, not even a single drop falling anymore. The cabin had the smell of death lingering and the atmosphere was tense. Star was devastated. He felt depressed that his wolf and demon had been taken away from him by the Moon goddess. Yeah, he may have deserved it, but he would have preferred death over being made a human. You see, this was common in the pack, and maybe in other packs too. Every werewolf feared their wolf being taken away from them. They saw it as the highest form of punishment. If most of them had to choose between death and having their wolves taken away from them, death was going to be the popular option. Having one’s wolf taken away meant shame, demotion, and disgrace, and was just almost every werewolf’s worse nightmare. The hybrid stood not too far from Clary and barely paid attention to what was going on. He was still in disbelief that this had happened. Selena shifted back into her human
Luna Clary~Mated To The Taken Alpha Light & Darkness
Clary was still on the floor, unable to get up. The powerful presence of the goddess was now made evident and it filled the room. But she could hear everything that the goddess was saying, including what she had just said about Selena's baby being alive. Clary chuckled in disbelief. “That’s impossible. Her baby died. And okay, let’s just say the baby’s alive, that still would not make my child the first heir,” She managed to say. The heaviness of the Moon goddess’s presence was now dwindling down but the omega knew that it was something that the goddess was doing on purpose. The goddess stopped pacing and looked at Clary on the floor. Her smile dropped a bit. “I told you to stand up, Luna Clary.” Clary made a small sound with her throat. “I know, but it’s not that easy when I can feel the literal essence of your being filling the room,” She confessed. The goddess's smile lifted up and then she let out a small breath, causing the heaviness to flee from the room in seconds. “Okay,
Luna Clary~Mated To The Taken Alpha Surrender
Levi’s wolf fell to the floor with a thud and he instantly shifted back into his human form. The light of life had fled from his eyes and death had stolen him away. But from the second that Selena had stabbed her hand into his back, he knew that he was going to die and at that very moment, he still did not regret a thing. Even if he had been given a second chance, he was for sure going to do it all again. He may have died, but his love for Clary was going to live on and on. “No,” Clary said the word out in disbelief as tears filled her eyes, blinding her vision for a few seconds before she blinked and it cleared when the tears had fallen on her face. “No, no, no,” Her voice broke. She shifted back into her human form and rushed to Levi’s side, watching the blood gushing out of his chest. “Yuck,” Selena said as she chuckled, staring at the heart in her hand. She then dropped it to the floor and licked the blood that was on her hand. “Please…please, let this be a dream,” Clary beg
Luna Clary~Mated To The Taken Alpha The Smell Of Death
Levi was furious, he wanted to just jump out of where he was hiding and attack the hybrid but he knew that it was not such a wise thing to do. So he did some breathing exercises. When he realized the breathing exercises were not really helping, he started punching the steering wheel really hard until pain shot through his fists; that was when he finally stopped. He then carefully got out of the car and hid in the bushes, making sure that he was out of sight so Star could not see him.“What the hell? You did not have to do that!” Clary exclaimed mentally, referring to what the hybrid had done to the driver. “He was the one that literally helped us to get here.” “Yeah, but he was also being overdramatic, he could have blown our cover and gotten us made by my sister.” Clary knew that the hybrid was right but she still felt bad for what he had done to the driver. “Anyone would have been overdramatic if they had seen a half-demon that has destroyed many packs.” “Okay, okay. I’m sorry.
